Out of CT's three Repukes, which one would you like to see get the boot?

This board is sooooo quiet! I figured a poll would liven things up. :D

I can't stand all of them but it would be so nice to get rid Simmons. Joe Courtney picking up steam?

1. Definitely Simmons

I don't like him & how he quietly used some race baiting tactics in the largely white 2nd district.

2. Race baiting tactics?

Ugh, not surprised. Stupid jerk needs to pack up and leave.

3. prior to the last election

some "mysterious" group sent out a mass mailing to Simmons' heavily white and primarily rural district. The mass mailing had a dark skinned woman in a sexy pose with (if I recall) some sort of message against Jim Sullivan (Simmons' opponent from 2004)

Simmons of course denied involvement, wink wink, nudge nudge....

5. Wow - that's totally inappropriate.

Simmons is such a jackass. Thanks, I had no idea about this.

7. I tried googling it

but, couldn't find it. I should look in the Courant archives, but I don't know if they go back to 2004 online.

4. I'd most like to see Johnson gone

Simmons is next, then Shays. Shays is the least bad choice of the three, by a long shot.

Nancy Johnson plays a very, very good "moderate" game. But then completely supports the corrupt powers that be every single time. (Remember Gingrich?) I also like Chris Murphy and would be very excited to see him win. (He's my senator right now, though John Larson is my Rep.)

Simmons is creepy, though, for sure.

6. Johnson. She is from Connecticut, yet she...

has a voting record equal to that of Tom Delay. :wtf: I want to see all of them gone. Chances that will happen this fall.
